I'm glad to hear that you never feel alone because
God always puts those we need in our path to be able to find joy and
happiness. The work truly does fill one up with feelings that you
couldn't even imagine. More when you come to understand what part you
exactly play. I was listening to a song a few days ago and it said
everyone plays a part and that we all make one big symphony. It made me
think about what my part is with those that I am with and how God has
given me them to show them something as well as to learn from them.
But I'm glad to hear that everything is going very
well and that you are able to learn and to grow. It's amazing to see how
many blessings the family is having and how they are all
progressing. It's weird to think how long its been and how you guys
probably have all changed... hopefully not too much. Dont worry mom to
be honest obedience always pays of sooner or later, sometimes we don't
see the results right in the moment that we want them and maybe even we
won't see the blessings, But they are always given with our faith and
obedience and trust in our God and Savior. I actually was able to
experience that feeling and able to understand that a little bit more
this week. It's been a hard week because my companion who was a mini
missionary went home because there came two other missionaries so now I'm
with a full time missionary again...his name however is Elder Garcia.
lol I now have had 3 Garcia's... and once again I am training... lol not
too sure what God is trying to teach me. lol I like to train and
everything but I feel like I am starting from square one again. Oh well I
love it and its been a big learning experience and I have been able to
learn so much! I have learned a lot of exactly what you have spoken of
which is trusting that the blessings will come when we need them, that
when we are just like Alma leaving the city ready to give up God gives
us angels to stand with us giving us strength to overcome our hardships
and difficulties. I was able to recieve so much revelation this week
and was able to feel the spirit really strong even through the difficult
times there ALWAYS seems to be a light shining at the end of the
tunnel, no matter how small it's still there and I know its from my Father in Heaven. He lifts, guides and shows us how to do what we need
to in each and every situation.
I have seen things so much more differently and have
been able to learn to see things in the eyes of those around us.
It has helped me to become more loving and to understand more of where
they are coming from, but however it has helped me to see how I can help
them to become better and to be a good friend and give them an example.
There are many that dont really have what we have, maybe the glowing
light of the gospel and maybe not really have they had the chance to
know of Christ. This is how I have been able to become more loving unto
them seeing what they dont have and how greatly blessed I am knowing
all that I do. I've learned of the importance of being here and to never
give up the fight for the truth and to always keep going in the
straight and narrow path. I've learned that sometimes the path is not
filled with too many people only us and our savior, I've learned that
sometimes we need to take that cross with us to where Christ walked.
It's never easy but it's what allows us to come unto our savior more and
more. Not fighting against God's will but accepting that he loves us and
for this reason he wants us to change and become as he is.
I want you guys to know how much I love you, how
much I care for you and maybe I haven't been the best example of the
world like our savior but I hope that in some way or form I have been
able to show a small light that helps you see the light I see. I hope
you can see his light that shines in darkness sometimes it takes a step
in the darkness but once we take that step God shows us that it wasn't
ever dark we just had our eyes shut. I have learned exactly that which
is to never shut my eyes to always have them opened and ready to see and
to understand in both heart and mind. I love my savior so much I know He lives, I know my savior loves me, he cares and sees my weaknesses and
lifts me to come closer to him. It's the only thing that I want to ever
do in my life is to always make him happy. I trust him and sometimes
it hurts and its not the easiest path but I can see his footsteps.
I had a experience this week when me and my
companion were on divisions with the Elders of the church and we didnt
set a hour to join together. As we got closer to the time to end it was
at like 6 in the night and we were in the house of the mission leader
trying to set things up for the week and there came a feeling of search
for your companion. I then told him I needed to go and that it was time
to end divisions. My companion that was with me just looked at me and
said we didnt set a time, I told him I know but its time now. With a
little laughter we went on our way to search out for my companion. I
didnt know where he was or what he was doing but I felt a feeling to go
to church. As we went walking that way about half way down to the
church walking towards us came my companion and his companion!! I was
laughing so hard first off to know that he was ok because the spirit
told me to search for him but also to know that something so simple as
that God was willing to help me. He told me he was waiting in the
church at like 6 and I was told at 6:05 to go to the church. It was a
amazing experience and it helped me even more to know that I have been
given the chance to be able to follow the spirit. There have been many
experiences in that same way this week as I focus on pleasing my God and
doing as he wants not as I want. I've learned this week that with
obedience there is ALWAYS sacrifice! That maybe we too will have to do
things that don't feel so good but its all for our good. Just like our
savior how he was crucified and hanged maybe he didnt feel too good
either but he did it out of love and because he truly cares for us as
his family.
I love you guys and I'm doing very good and I'm
learning so many different things with different experiences which have
shown me how to grow. I have never felt any closer to my Savior before in my entire life. He has shown me so many things and I couldn't ever be
any more grateful in my entire life. I know that Christ lives that he
opens up the way to give us eternal life. I know that this is his work
and I've never had so many miracles like I have had here in my entire
life. I am greatly blessed beyond that which I could ever think or
imagine. I feel a intense love for my savior and I know its because our Father in Heaven has seen that I am ready to grow. I love him so much
and know that its worth all the gold and riches of the entire world.
Just knowing him has allowed me to understand why I do things and why
things are how they are. I love you all so very much, I care for each
of you hoping the best and knowing each and everyone of your
potentials. You are all amazing children of God and the best family in
the entire world!! Thank you for all you do for each prayer and love
you send me!! It helps me each and every time i see it!! love you all!!
Elder Trujillo
